There is no support for GRUB on PowerPC Macs yet. GRUB is supported on
CHRP and similar machines on powerpc and ppc64 only.
Installing GRUB on a PPC Mac is more complicated and involves creating
an HFS partition which is why it's not been implemented yet. We have
agreed yet on what would be the best implementation.
One suggestion was to use a FAT partition which would apparently work
on real Macintosh hardware but not in QEMU.
